The Night Cafe by Vincent van Gogh Art Print

The Night Cafe by Vincent van Gogh Art Print'Too safe,' said nobody standing in front of deep red walls and a green ceiling. This one runs hot pooled lamplight, a slumped drinker, a billiard table marooned in the middle of the room. Put it up and a quiet room stops being quiet. Walls feel warmer, lamps feel braver, the room picks a side. Best over a sideboard, a console, or behind a dining table where people actually sit and talk. Pair with aged leather, dark wood, mustard or deep red textiles,

Don't crowd it with other bold portraits or busy florals

The painterly handling keeps it interesting at close range without shouting across the room

in a dining nook above the table

and the room feels like it's been waiting for guests

woven rattan and warm cream walls

drawn with the precision of a naturalist and the patience of a painter

cream upholstery and a bit of brass

The Kew Gardens Orangery poster brings the cool of a glasshouse and the warmth of a terracotta pot into a room that's gone a bit too quiet

study or hallway and the room picks up a quiet holiday feeling without going full chalet

washed cottons and a stoneware lamp or two

with two warm red birds on a cherry branch keeping the eye busy

or skip extra art altogether and let this one carry the wall
